Cuproptosis-associated ferroptosis genes linked with immune infiltration in atherosclerosis

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. In this study, the authors identify cuproptosis-associated ferroptosis genes in the atherosclerosis microarray of the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and explored hub gene-mediated immune infiltration in atherosclerosis.

Scientists generate 3D ultra-resolution maps of mitochondrial networks in lung tumors

Scientists have long known that mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of cells, play a crucial role in the metabolism and energy production of cancer cells.

Vitamin A-rich diet may reduce risk of developing asparaginase-associated pancreatitis in ALL patients

Consuming a diet rich in vitamin A or its analogs may help prevent children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) reduce their risk of developing painful pancreas inflammation during chemotherapy treatment.

Point-of-care test identifies patients who may benefit from hypnosis interventions for pain treatment

Hypnosis is an effective treatment for pain for many individuals but determining which patients will benefit most can be challenging. Hypnotizability testing requires special training and in-person evaluation rarely available in the clinical setting.

Research reveals the modulatory effect of anti-inflammatory metabolite on immune cells

Researchers have revealed the modulatory effect of the anti-inflammatory metabolite itaconate on T helper and T regulatory cells, which may lead to new therapeutic approaches to treating some autoimmune diseases.

Researchers identify a potential treatment to prevent severe COVID-19 in high-risk patients

UVA Health researchers have identified a potential treatment to prevent severe COVID-19 in patients at great risk.

Higher plasma caffeine levels may reduce adiposity and risk of type 2 diabetes

A high blood caffeine level might curb the amount of body fat a person carries and their risk of type 2 diabetes, suggests research published in the open access journal BMJ Medicine.

Reversing infertility in sterile mice by reducing high-circulating cholesterol with a bacterial protein

Houston Methodist scientists reversed infertility in sterile mice by reducing high-circulating cholesterol with a bacterial protein, showing further evidence that links high cholesterol to female infertility.

Age and sex determine the effects of microbiota on mice's metabolome

The gut handles all ingested foods for further digestion and assimilation. In addition, it harbors a wealth of microbes that produce metabolic byproducts with multiple effects on host physiology. Therefore, changes in the gut microbiome's composition can shift the gut's metabolome as well.

An emerging target for chronic kidney disease treatment - DNA-PKcs

A recent Nature Communications study suggested that DNA-PKcs could be a potential target for treating chronic kidney disease.

Long-acting GIPRA inhibits feeding and lowers body weight in mice with diet-induced obesity

The hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is considered obesogenic. In contrast, GIP receptor agonists (GIPRAs) have shown reduced feeding and body weight in an obese mouse model. Therefore, the precise effects exerted by GIP and GIPRAs remain elusive.

Long-term antibiotic therapy for adolescent acne can affect liver metabolism and promote adiposity

A growing body of evidence is showing that the healthy gut microbiome – a community of microorganisms that live together in the gut – influences many aspects of human growth and development, especially during adolescence.

Insufficient sleep results in decreased antibody response to vaccination

In reviewing data from previous studies, a team lead by researchers at the University of Chicago and the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) found that individuals who had fewer than six hours of sleep per night in the days surrounding vaccination had a blunted antibody response.

Understanding how cells adjust in real time to withstand stresses on our health

Every minute of every day, our body adapts to meet the needs of each moment. When we binge on carbs, exercise, or become sick, chemical reactions inside our cells switch on, slow down, or shift strategy so that we have the energy and strength we need.
